The River - Bruce Springsteen

   Em                    G
I come from down in the Valley,
        D                   C/D
where, mister, when you're young.
       Em             G       C               G
They bring you up to do just like your daddy done.
        C  
Me and Mary we met in high school 
       G           G/Bb  Em
when she was just seventeen.
      Am
We'd ride out of that valley
          G                     C
down to where the fields were green.

         Em          C
We'd go down to the river,
   D                 G
into the river we'd dive.
       Em          C          D      C
Ohhh, down to the river we'd ride.

Then I got Mary pregnant, 
and man, that was all she wrote.
And for my nineteenth buirthday
I got a union-card and a weddingdress.
We went down to the courthouse
where the Judge put it all to rest.
No wedding-day smiles,
no walk down the isles,
no flowers, no wedding-dress.

That night we went down to the river.
Into the river we'd dive.
Ohhh, down to the river tonight.

I got a job, working construction,
with the Johnstown Company.
But lately ther ain't been much work
on account of the economy.
I just act like I don't remember,
and Mary acts like she don't care.

Down to the river, my baby and I.
Down to the river, we'd ride.

But I remember us riding in my brothers car,
her body tan and wet down at the reservoir.
At night, on them banks I'd lie awake,
pull her close, just to feel every breath she take.
Now, those memories come back to haunt me,
they haunt me like a curse.
Is a dream a lie, if it don't come true,
or is it something worse, that sends me...

Down to the river, though I know the river is dry,
Down to the river tonight.
